The public is hereby notified that a
cigar manufacturer in st. Peter, has un-
scrupulously, without my consent or

brand and to build a false reputation
for his goods on the widespread reputa-
tion my Original White Rose Cigars
have achieved in a period Of four years.
AS my only recourse is in the justness
and love Of fair play which ever exists
in the public mind, / take this method
of notification and leave the rest to your

Prof. Scoville of Kansas has been ex-
perimenting to ascertain the shrinkage
in corn after it is ripe and placed in the
crib. Reports are given from which
we learn that six different varieties
weighed October and stored in room
without any artificial heat showed an
average shrinking of 153 per cent. 30
days after storage. One variety lost q
over 8 per cent, while with another
the loss Was rs per cent. On February
%, las days from the date Of gathering,
the lot was weighed, and the average
loss on the whole amounted to 214 per
cent, and in one variety called the
'.mammoth'' the loss was exactly 333
per cent. From the above the farmer
may make very close calculation as
to the advances in the price of corn
which he must obtain in the Spring to
make it equal to the loss sustained in
shrinkage during the winter.

Il Marvellous Piece of Railroad
E710iNee7i2aO.

Engineering.
The completion of the main fine of
the Northern Pacific Railroad by the
switchback over the Cascades is said to
be the most marvellous piece of railroad
engineering in the county. Its extant is
but thirteen miles, and the cost $780,
900. The cost of the Cascade division
of the Northern Pacific will reach $8,-
100000. The maximum grade OF the
''switchback'' is two hundred and nine
ty.six feet to the mile. Two decaped
engines, weighing one hundred and
twenty five tons each, are used on each
train, one on each end of six cars. One
of these is ample to draw the train, but
two are used for fear of an accident by
the uncoupling OF the train or otherwise.
It has been said that it is impracticable
for the Northern to operate freight
traffic over the ..switchback, but this
is not true, and it has been so proved
by practical test. 1t is estimated that
from thirty-fiye to fifty freight cars can
be handled each way over the switch
back in twenty.four hours. At this
rate, each car holding ten tons, from
three hundred and fifty thousand to
five hundred thousand bushels of wheat
can be sent to the Sound ports in TWEEN.
ty-four hours. There will be no trouble
about the Northern Pacific not handling
all the freight it can receive. Its man
agement is too far seeing to cripple its
business by short-sighted policy and
deficient modes Of transportation. The

Mr.. Chauncy NJ. Depew, who has been
making 3 tour of the country and over
the Vanderbilt system of roads, takes d
gloomy view of the business outlook.
He predicts a Financial cyclone" in the
near future on account of the overbuild-
ing of railroads and real estate specu-
lation which has led to an enormous
initiation Of values and tied up thous-
ands of dollars in what must become
unproductive and deteriorating invest
ments. He says: ''On our trip the
party has seen plenty of evidence of al
most unexampled commercial prosper
ity, but at the same time saw abundant
evidence of a great financial cyclone.
There are several very dangerous ele-
ments threatening business in the west,
but most conspicuous and influential for
evil are the real estate speculative craze
and the construction this year of at least
5000 more miles of railroad than are
necessary. These reckless ventures
have already absorbed millions of act
ual cash and most of it must necessari-
ly be a total loss and the effect of the
loss will be very widespread. Those
who have invested in new railroad mile
age will, in the near future, have moth
ing to show for their money but worth
less stocks and bonds. The properties
will be sold under the hammer and
owners may in 10 or 20 years, when
the production of the country grows up,
make them pay. This will entail a loss
Of over $1O0,O0O,O00 which somebody
will have to bear, but, what is most
threatening real estate craze will bring
greater disaster because so many are
directly interested. found at nearly
every one of the trade centers we visit
ed most extravagant, and unten-
able views of prospective real estate
values. found it a very common
thing to hear men pay $1,000
and more for town lots situated in a
corn field or on a hilltop, or three miles
from town which in all human proba-
bility would be suburban property for
the next 25 years. These lots are pro-
badly worth $40 and.s50 per acre. The
worst panics this country ever had were
the direct and legitimate result of real
estate speculation. refer to 1887 and
1857, and as the present craze is vastly
more extensive than it was in either of
these years, I do not see any reason
why the collapse should not be cores
pondingly greater.
There is only one rule that can con.
troll legitimate land sale !: The demand
must be based on the fact that the pur-
chaser wants the property for use, or
desires to hold itfor legitimate advance,
and the seller Goes not need it for use,

Of all commodities land ought to be the
most staple, and transactions in it the
most sober. Whenever the community

fires are burning at many points north,

at Hope. Ark, yesterday fires were
raging all around the town and the smoke
in the town was almost sitting. Great
stretches of fences have been burned and
farmers are organized to fight the flames
day and night with little hopes Of staying
their PROCESS without rain.
At Little Rock only four and hall
inches OF rain has fallen fer five months,
and little more has fallen at any point
now ravaged by the fire. Everything is
dry. The wells and small streams are
everywhere drying up under the influence

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. l9-For the
past ten days forest fires have been reg
ing all around this section of country and
dense smoke has oyerhung the city. The
reports this afternoon are OF serious
nature. Travel over the Kansas City
Road has been temporarily suspended
by the burning of trestle five
miles west Of Memphis, caused by forest
fires. Great damage is also reported to
fences and farm houses along the line Of
the Louisville and Nashville, the Chesa-
peake, Ohio and Southwestern, and Mis-
sissippi and Tennessee and the Louisville,
New Orleans and Texas Railways,
from these fires. The train on the
Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern
which left here last evening WAS delayed
several hours north of this city owing to
flames which swept across the track.
The greatest danger is to be feared from
burned trestles and bridges, and none OF
the trains on these rOGds are running on
schedule time. The long continued
drouth which has prevailed since July has
literally dried up the country.
Navigation is IN bad condition. The
boats cannot find sufficient water even in
the Mississippi river to carry full caTgoes.

and have been burning for days. As q
consequence many miles of that country
are on fire, which is burning
out the accumulated vegetable mould
and pests. Nothing OF the
kind has been known for msny years &C
cording to the oldest inhabitants. The
bottom lands of the Mississippi valley are
also on fire and considerable damage is
being done to timber. Farmers in many
cases have been compelled to fight these
fires to save their ginhouses
from destruction. A high wind
is blowing tonight, which will
no doubt cause G serious disaster. Tele-
graphic communication to points in
Arkansas is seriously interrupted and
messages ere received "subject to de-

Correspondence of the Gazette.
MoBEETIE, TEX, Nov. 16.-The grand
jury completed it's lsbors and made its
report to the District court to-day. Act
ing under Instructions from Judge Willis
it made thorough Investigation OF the
Colhngsworth troubles, with the follow
ing result, which is embodied in its writ
ten report:
l. We have ssceTtained by sn
examination OF the records for
ties that the Rocking Chair Ranch
Texas all public school lands in Ceilings
worth county, or eli that portion of said
lands which arr enclosed within the lin
its Of SAID compeny's fence, except one
section of $40 acres sold TO an individual
prior to the withdrawal of said lands from
the market by the State Land Board.
2. We find upon examination Of wit
nesses summoned to appear before this
body that there are some twenty
or more actual settlers located
in COllingsWorth county, upon lands leas
ed to the Rocking Chsir Ranch Company,
all of whom had selected their present
location and settled thereUpOn prior to
July 4, 1887, expressing their desire and
determination to become purchasers Of
such lands as they had settled upon for
homes, when the sale OF the same should
be provided for by legislative action; and
we also find that some Of said settlers
are grazing more than sixty-fOur head OF
live stock, cattle and horses, upon their
claims.
That during the month of September,
1887, one J. John Drew, manager for the
Rocking Chair Ranch Company, did IN
person, notify some OF said settlers TO
comply with the requirements of land
laws enacted by the Twentieth Legisla-
ture by removing che excess Of stock be-
yond the limits of said companY's pas
ture; but in no instance have We arrived
at the fact that any actual settler was IN
timidated Or otherwise deferred from
enjoying the ssnctity OF his home by the
action OF the management Of the Rocking
Chair Ranch Company.
4. That there exists to q certainty con-
fiicting leases in Collingsworth county,
both of which were granted and perfected
by authority of the state of Texas since
July 4, 1887.
5. We must admit, sitter earnest in.
vestigation and elaboration, that there
exists dissatisfaction to a lamentable
degree upon the part of the
sexual settlers and the lessee in
Collingsworth county, but must confess
that the administration Of conservative
remedy is beyond the legal power of this
body. And while it is not our mission or
aim to become political body the con-
Viction forces Itself upon US, that the
present lease law is disturbing Iement
in our section of country; that the great
state of Texas, in her greed for money,
accepts bids from concentrated capital for
the use of her public lands, to the detri-
ment and oppression of that class of her
population who earn their bread by the
sweat of their brow. Signed
